    Is it possible to run the G code list and the sim mode at the same time?

    Sim keeps running when you switch tabs. It only stops when stopped using the stop button, or if the sim is finished (reached end of the gcode)
    What does change is if you had it zoomed or rotated, view is reset when you click the 3D view tab (way to reset the view too)

    I guess what im asking is can you view the sim and the Gcode running at the same time. THe sim runs but if I hit G code ed. the sim disappears. Id like to see the sim and Gcoe progression at the same time Thanks,Les

    Thanks . Would be a great feature to track lines to edit in long complicated runs. No doubt well within your advanced skill level. Thanks for the reply, Les
